A great idea for a composition assignment is what Keith Terry calls "Body Music" crosspulse.comHow to:- Explore different hand claps, snaps, and taps- Design a score (see Terry's score). - Decide how a clap or snap will be placed on the staff.- Identify rhythms. Notate the rhythm patterns in standard notation.- Transfer to staff on the score. - Practice and enjoy!- Invent your own body percussion sounds!

Great for classrooms with limited instrumentation and/or groups working on reading and writing rhythm patterns.
